Outdoor festival procession on a dusty road beside a raised earth embankment. Crowds in white clothing crowd the route, many in white shirts and white dhotis or kurtas, with women in saris and salwars including one in a yellow-orange sari and another in a brown shawl. Large orange flags with blue emblems and blue flags are carried aloft, and several ornate multicoloured umbrellas and a decorated red-and-gold canopy border shade the procession. A figure in orange robes stands at right among the crowd. Banners on a building behind read International Ashrams, and a loudspeaker hangs on a pole overhead.
